Description
This research focuses on Non-Standard Interactions and their effects on neutrino oscillations. In particular, we focus on the effects of the parameter ϵµτ on muon neutrino survival probability and the number of muons measured in IceCube's DeepCore detector. These effects are found to be sign asymmetric and an analytic model is presented that predicts points of maximum sign asymmetry. Furthermore, we discuss the implications these sign asymmetric effects have on mass hierarchy determination.
